Introduction
is chapter describes the Double Serial Interface Kit
for EasyCoder PF2/4i-, PM4i-, and PX4/6i-series
printers.
2 Double Serial Interface Kit Installation Instructions
Chapter 1 — Introduction
Description
is Installation Instructions booklet describes how to install a Double
Serial interface board in an EasyCoder PF2i, PF4i, PF4i Compact Indus-
trial, PM4i, PX4i, or PX6i printer.
e installation instructions describes how to physically install the
interface board in a printer and how to confi gure the two serial commu-
nication ports.
is interface kit must only be physically installed by an
authorized service technician. Intermec assumes no respon-
sibility for personal injury or damage to the equipment if
the installation in performed by an unauthorized person.
Printer Firmware
e printer must be fi tted with Intermec Fingerprint v8.00 (or later).
For some combinations of two interface boards in EasyCoder PM4i and
PX4/6i printers, Fingerprint v8.30 (or later) is required.  is kit does not
work with IPL. In Intermec Fingerprint, the serial ports are addressed as
"uart2:", "uart3:", "uart4:", and "uart5:" (communication channel #2,
#3, #7, and #8 respectively).
Installation Kit
e Double Serial Interface Kit contains:
One Double Serial interface board fi tted with circuits and straps for
RS-232 non-isolated.
One hexagonal spacer (only used for two interface boards fi tted in a
PM4i or PX4/6i printer)
• Two at cables
•  is Installation Instruction booklet
e only tools required for the installation are #T10 and #T20 Torx
screwdrivers plus a small wrench.

Physical Installation
is chapter describes how to physically install the
Double Serial Interface Kit in an EasyCoder PF2/4i-,
PM4i-, or PX4/6i-series printer.
Take precautions against electrostatic discharges,
for example by wearing grounded bracelets.

EasyCoder PF2/4i Printers
• Switch off the printer and disconnect the power cord.
Disconnect all communication cables.
Remove the front/left-hand cover as follows.
e electronic compartment contains wires and compo-
nents with dangerous voltage (up to 380V). Make sure that
the printer is switched off and the power cord is discon-
nected before the left-hand cover is removed.
Open the right-hand door.
Using a #T20 Torx screwdriver, remove the three screws and lift the
cover up so it disengages the bottom plate.
Swing out the rear part of the cover so you can disconnect the console
cable from the CPU board.
Put the cover aside on a soft cloth or similar to avoid scratches.

Chapter 2 — Physical Installation
Remove the two #T10 Torx screws that hold the interface cover plate.
Remove the cover plate.
Save the cover plate for possible later use. Keep the screws.
Remove the #T20 Torx screw fi tted on the hexagonal spacer at the
CPU board. Keep the screw.
• If reconfi guration of the interface board is required, fi t or remove
circuits and straps according to the descriptions in Chapters 3 and 4.
Attach the fl at cable included in the kit to connector J62 (marked
“EXP BOARD”) on the CPU board (see page 7).

screws left over when you removed the original cover plate.
Using the #T20 Torx screw you previously removed, attach the inter-
face board to the hexagonal spacer on the CPU board.
•  e kit contains two fl at cables. Connect the fl at cable with two con-
nectors to P1 on the interface board, see the next page.

Chapter 2 — Physical Installation
Connect the console cable to J50 on the CPU board and put back the
cover over the electronics compartment. Take care so the console cable
runs above the ribbon motor (if any) and does not become entangled
in the headlift mechanism.
Connect the communication cables to the connectors on the printers
rear plate.
Connect the power cord and switch on the power.
Enter the Setup Mode to set the proper communication parameters
for the serial communication channels "uart2:" and "uart3:".

that hold the cover to the center section.
Put the printer back on its feet and remove the cover while discon-
necting the console cable from the CPU board.
e electronic compartment contains wires and compo-
nents with dangerous voltage (up to 380V). Make sure that

start with the inner one. Remove the cover plate.
Save the cover plate for possible later use. Keep the screws.
Remove the #T20 Torx screw fi tted on the hexagonal spacer at the
center of the CPU board. Keep the screw.
• If reconfi guration of the interface board is required, fi t or remove
circuits and straps according to the descriptions in Chapters 3 and 4.

Chapter 2 — Physical Installation
Insert the interface board with the component side facing right, as
seen from behind.
Attach the interface board to the printers rear plate using the two
screws left over when you removed the original cover plate.
Using the #T20 Torx screw you previously removed, attach the inter-
face board to the hexagonal spacer on the CPU board (see next page).
If you are installing an interface board in the outer slot, you need to
remove the screw that holds the inner board and replace it with the
spacer included in the kit.  e secure the outer board to the spacer
with the screw (see illustration on the next two pages).
•  e kit contains two fl at cables, one with two connectors for use with
a single interface board and one with three connectors for use with
double interface boards. Connect the appropriate fl at cable to connec-
tor P1 on the interface board, also see the next two pages.
